News Alert!

The top news story here in Central Texas today is a buglery overnight at a Williamson County Demo. company. A large amount of "Ammonium Nitrate" was stolen along with the documentation to transport the compound over state line's. They did not release the amount, but they did compare it to the bomb at the Federal building in Oklahoma City. I don't know if it has made the National News yet, but I thought everyone might like to know. Stay Safe!!!!!
